Chris,
try this; For some reason this won’t work when run from Smile but does work from Applescript Editor AND as an app.
# NOTE: THIS SCRIPT MAY DEPEND ON Cliclick 2.3.1
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Finder"
set frontmost to true
end tell
end tell
tell application "Finder"
tell window 1
set {leftEdge, topSide, null, null} to bounds
set xPosition to (leftEdge + 54) as integer
set yPosition to (topSide - 11) as integer
delay 1
tell me to do shell script "cliclick w:100 c:" & xPosition & "," & yPosition # move to green button
end tell
end tell
